I Turned ON All Ubuntu Telemetry.

I  did something today that will make certain corners of the internet audibly gasp. I didn’t disable telemetry. I didn’t firewall it. I didn’t put on a tinfoil hat and boot into a Faraday cage. No. I installed every Ubuntu data-donation tool and opted in manually like a lunatic with intent. Yes. Telemetry. On. All of it.

About 1978

on

Originating from a Facebook page and a blog on Blogspot titled 'Mobile Devices', my journey has been fueled by a deep love for technology. Despite facing challenges in my startup phase, I remain committed to my business.

At 1978, my long-term goal is to establish a strong presence in the technology sector, embracing general tech repairs and software development. 
The journey started with the 'Mobile Devices' blog, and I aim to expand my horizons further.

If you have ideas or edits to propose, I warmly welcome them. Help to shape 1978 into a beacon of technology and innovation.
